Taman Negara National Park has over 100 km of signposted trekking routes and campsites for visitors wanting to undertake some of the longer treks, such as the trek to Mount Tahan which is 55 km each way. You don’t, however, need to walk very far from the Wildlife Park HQ to experience this ancient rain forest, thought to be around 130 million years old. An easy 1.2 km walk from the entry point to the park is the world’s longest canopy walkway, which is 530 metres long and suspended 40 metres above ground level. Whilst you are visiting you have a fairly good chance of seeing a number of rare animal and birds. The animals you will see most often are wild ox, sambar, barking deer, wild boar, macque monkeys and tapir. There also Sumatran rhinoceros, tigers and leopards in the park although you need to trek a long way into the interior and have a lot of patience and luck to spot them. There is also an Orang Asli (aboriginal people) settlement in the park which is, along with the canopy walkway, one of the most popular attractions in the Taman Negara National Park.
